For a website, there are 3 major options, python, node, and php. I personally suggest either node or php.

Alright, now that I have a little more time, let me elaborate on my suggestions. Node has the advantage of being the same language that's used client side for functionality (JavaScript, not to be confused with Java). PHP has the advantage of being more closely integrated into the HTML (the base markup language that makes up the website) so it's arguably much easier to build dynamic websites, but requires learning another language on top of HTML, CSS, and JS. The good news is it's syntactically similar to JS, so it's not too much more to learn.

As for the other options, I personally don't recommend python because it is neither integrated heavily into the HTML, nor is it syntaxically similar to any of the other 3 languages, so it's an entirely new thing to learn. There are technically other options such as Java and Scala, but they are antiquated and I do not recommend them.
